Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) for a large, midesophageal diverticulum was successfully performed in a 77-year-old male who had dysphagia for one year. Postoperatively, the patient was well without any complications and was relieved of dysphagia. The VATS diverticulectomy was considered to be minimally invasive and constituted a good indication especially for patients of advanced age showing symptomatic esophageal diverticulum.
